Abstract In order to analyze and compare the intellectual structure of information organization research in Japan and Korea, this study has carried out frequency analysis and network text analysis of research articles published in the last two years. Analysis showed that the Japanese information organization area has a high frequency of research centered on the concepts of “catalog” and “classification”. In particular, “catalog” is seen to have a high figure in degree centrality by network text analysis, it can be said that the “catalog” concept has extensive connections with a diverse range of subjects in the area of information organization. On the other hand, the Korean information organization research area showed a high frequency and connectivity of subjects related to “classification” rather than “catalog”. The “classification” concept is seen to have extensive connections with other various subjects in the Korean information organization research area.

Abstract In 2012, the authors conducted a survey on the satisfaction level of librarians and staff in technical services in ARL libraries towards their physical office environment and their perceptions on whether physical office environment had an impact on their job satisfaction, privacy, productivity, communication and collaboration. The authors analyzed the survey results and answered three research questions. This paper will provide some understanding about the physical office environment in library technical services and the survey results will be useful for both architects and library administrators when planning and designing physical office environment in library technical services.

Abstract This paper presents results taken from 2008 to 2010 of an ongoing microform use study. The number of titles used is evenly distributed over time with microfilm being the most used format and newspapers accounting for half of all usage. When publications are available electronically, users may still use the microform version. This study illustrates how microform and electronic collections are complementary—electronic materials provide better access but microform is better for preservation. Users prefer electronic materials but will also use microform when there is no online version available or when the online version is not an exact copy of the original.

Abstract Purpose: One of the aims of library catalogs is to clearly represent the relationships existing between two or more bibliographic entities, enabling users to make sense of these relationships. Educational bibliographic relationships are the relationships between an educational work, such as a textbook, and its related works. The main interest of this study was to understand the nature of the supplementary work-to-work bibliographic relationships among educational works and the constitution of educational bibliographic families in the Canadian context using AMICUS (the Canadian national catalog). A thorough understanding of educational bibliographic relationships is required for understanding the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) supplementary relationships. Design/methodology/approach: We studied the extent and size of educational bibliographic relationships in the bibliographic universe found in the AMICUS catalog. This is an empirical investigation into the nature and extent of educational work-to-work bibliographic relationships by examining title of works, notes and added entries in bibliographic records. The study was carried out between September 1st 2010 and December 22nd 2010 and examines educational bibliographic relationships between Canadian 2009 publications in each class of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). In other words, this study poses two main questions: What is the structure of educational supplementary bibliographic relationships in Canadian publications? Do significant differences exist across the ten DDC classes? Findings: Results show that 595 works of the 2009 bibliographic records in the AMICUS catalog contain an educational supplementary bibliographic relationship. Of the Canadian publications with an educational supplementary work-to-work bibliographic relationship that were studied, the rates of educational bibliographic relationships were relatively high in the fields of Science (27%), Technology (22%), Social Sciences (20%), and Language (19%). The results of this study suggest a set of guidelines for the establishment and maintenance of educational bibliographic relationships. Originality/value: This is the first research to examine the educational bibliographic relationships, as supplementary relationships.
摘要目的:图书馆目录的目标之一是清晰地表示两个或多个书目实体之间存在的关系,使用户能够理解这些关系。教育书目关系是教材等教育著作与其相关著作之间的关系。本研究的主要目的是利用AMICUS(加拿大国家目录)了解加拿大背景下教育著作之间补充工作对工作书目关系的性质和教育书目家族的构成。要理解《书目记录功能要求》(Functional Requirements for bibliographic Records, FRBR)补充关系,就必须对教育书目关系有一个透彻的认识。设计/方法/方法:我们研究了在AMICUS目录中发现的书目宇宙中教育书目关系的范围和大小。这是一项实证调查,通过检查作品的标题、注释和书目记录中的添加条目,研究教育工作对工作书目关系的性质和程度。该研究于2010年9月1日至2010年12月22日期间进行,并检查了2009年杜威十进分类法(DDC)中每个类别的加拿大出版物之间的教育书目关系。换句话说,这项研究提出了两个主要问题:加拿大出版物中教育补充书目关系的结构是什么?十个DDC类别之间是否存在显著差异?结果表明:AMICUS目录2009年书目记录中595部作品存在教育性补充书目关系。在研究的具有教育性补充工作对工作书目关系的加拿大出版物中,科学(27%)、技术(22%)、社会科学(20%)和语言(19%)领域的教育书目关系比例相对较高。本研究结果为教育书目关系的建立与维护提供了一套指导方针。原创性/价值:这是第一个考察教育书目关系的研究,作为补充关系。

Abstract This case study describes the challenges of acquiring eBooks on an approval plan due to publication delays between print and electronic formats. The purpose of this analysis was to determine the average delay between print and eBook publication dates so that appropriate hold periods could be built into the libraries' approval plan. Print publication dates were compared to eBook publication dates for approximately 30,000 eBooks to calculate the average delay between print and eBook availability. The data was further analyzed to calculate average delays for select publishers and subjects.

Abstract The main aim of this study was to determine the extent to which Croatian university teachers use online databases as a research support tool, and what role librarians have in their promotion. Although the results show that within Croatian higher education online databases are widely acknowledged as important, they are used less frequently than in many other countries, especially more developed ones. The differences in online database perception between certain user groups were also tested. The study has revealed the problems in database usage and indicated the ways in which librarians can respond to users’ needs more efficiently and effectively.
